Not to mention we could have won a few more close games. I'll take scrappy over crappy any day. This team isn't all that good, but they at least worked hard and made it this far. Gotta be proud of them for that.
Actually....most important part of tournament success is guard play. And that has been proven many many times.
With zero bigs that's been proven? With 4 gaurds and no adequate 4 or 5s that's been proven? I'd love an example of two please of teams that fit those parameters that have had tournament success as in won a couple games or so. I'm not a basketball person obviously. But I can't think of anyone that fits that tab. What's been proven in my eyes is guards are the driving force but that's when they've had atleast adequate size surrounding them. Sam wardenburg for gods sake is the only lil bit of a size they play as for some reason walker is rarely on the court and he doesn't play a bigs game at all. He plays a European game outside in.
Villanova is only team I can think of.
Last years NC game...Baylor and Gonzaga had seven of the 10 starters were between 6-2 and 6-5, and each team started three guards.
I get your drift but Gonzaga's big man was one of the best in the country last season.
Most recent...Villanova a few years ago...I also know of 99 UCONN team. RIP Hamilton..Khalid el amin...etc...2011 UCONN with Kemba, Shabazz Napier, and Jeremy Lamb...
We are a lock. If we win the ACC tournament we become a 6 seed. If not..probably will be a 10 seed...which in my opinion is better than being an 8 or 9.
SMH, that is ridiculous. If UNC is in how can we not be a lock? We beat them, match their best win, they have less quad 1 wins etc. I can believe it had we lost as I would be sweating it out but ridiculous for us to be on any bubble right now. Maybe just me, that is why I was beyond frustrated with today's game, I think they would have shafted us if we lost.
How many bid stealers are out there still? I dont follow the smaller conferences but now I'm starting to sweat now they miami somehow moved down. If teams like VT somehow win the ACC and a few other small conference champ upsets could miami somehow slid out of it if they lose tomorrow? Seems like complete bs
That's what I'm starting to think. But how many bid stealers are still out there for smaller conferences? And if VT somehow keeps winning. Couldn't believe it when I saw miami on the bubble
Read the fine print on post...he stated there are essentially 3 at large spots up for grabs...held by Wake, Xavier, and Indiana...those are the slots that can be taken from about 5 other teams trying to take one of the last 3..
I did, still think it is crap to have us in any bubble talk at all. I get the ACC is garbage this year but come on man.
Really only a few that could steal a bid from what I see. Most of the smaller conferences only getting tourney winner in anyway. A lot of teams knocked themselves out today.
